Hampton Hotel, Temple Street, Llandrindod Wells, Powys, Mid Wales, LD1

The Victorian Spa Town of Llandrindod Wells stands on the of England and Wales in the heart of rural Powys. It is the largest town in the county with a population of 5,500 and is the headquarters for the Council's offices. It has historically attracted many visitors throughout the year visiting the surrounding areas and to take in the local spring waters which are supposed to have medicinal qualities.

At the heart of the town is the imposing property that is the Hampton Hotel, a very attractive Victorian style building of stone construction which despite its age and character is surprisingly not listed. It is in extremely good condition and offers extensive trade and letting facilities after many years in the same family's ownership. It is briefly described as follows:

TRADE AREAS
The entrance hallway provides access into the two principal trading areas. There are bar, lounge and restaurant facilities. Immediately off the hallway is a large RECEPTION ROOM with desk utilised for booking in guests. LOUNGE BAR which has boarded floor throughout with booth style ribbed dralon upholstered fixed seating and part tongue and grooved panelled walls. Counter from central bar servery having exposed stone and beamed frontage. The PUBLIC BAR is also found off the entrance hallway and has boarded floor throughout, tongue and grooved panelled walls, feature Victorian fireplace with ornate cast iron back fitting. Central bar servery with exposed stone frontage. The room having loose and some fixed seating for 25 or so customers with standing space for more with drinking shelves to walls. There is a traditional GAMES AREA with pool table and darts throw and widescreen TV. The public bar has its own set of LADIES and GENTLEMEN'S TOILETS.

RESTAURANT "WORTH YOUR SALT"
This has been created in what would at one time have been the hotel's ballroom. It has boarded floor throughout, tongue and grooved panelled walls, seating in two styles, loose and booth style for 86 diners, has a counter from central bar servery having exposed stone frontage. Separate COCKTAIL BAR which has future rotunda style servery with coloured glass frontage. "Worth your Salt" can operate almost independently of the hotel and its bar facilities as it has its own entrance and its own reception area. This room also has a set of LADIES and GENTLEMEN'S TOILETS.

CATERING KITCHEN, located off the restaurant, superbly presented having been subject to much investment. As would be required by the dining facilities and the capacity from which the Hampton benefits the kitchen is of good size and arranged in three principal areas. There is non slip flooring throughout and fully UPVC stainless steel panelled walls. There is a main catering area which is comprehensively equipped, separate wash-up area and a separate preparation room. All three rooms are interconnecting.
